Acknowledgements
Today, I am elated to present my work to you, but calling this book solely mine would be a gross injustice to the efforts and insights of those who have, directly or indirectly, been instrumental in making this book achieve its present form. This book is the result of collective effort of my friends, relatives, teachers and many more people who have, in one way or the other, facilitated the process of writing it.
I would also like to acknowledge the heterogeneous nature of people—mostly their individuality—which inadvertently led to sharpening of my observational skills beyond the normal and made me capable of seeing things differently from others.
At last, I humbly thank the folks at V&S publishers for helping this book see the light of day.
I have talked more through stories, quotations, illustrations and day to day observations than through words alone, so that everyone—young and old—finds this book an engaging read—so effortlessly.
Thank you!

PREFACE
Our actions totally depend upon our thoughts and our thoughts are nothing but the sum total of our attitudes. This book attempts to infuse in each one of us the kind of attitude required to excel in all the spheres of life, be it personal or professional.
We always hear people complain of something missing from their lives, without being able to exactly pin-point that very ‘something’. This ‘something’ could be a spark, which we miss on our way to success; or could be the satisfaction post achievement of that success; or it could be anything to do with a pleasing personality, having a better attitude or a wish for a more balanced life. Or, simply it could be a lack of happiness in our lives. This book intends to tackle this very ‘something’; to surface that which we miss in our lives and the ways to fill that vacuum.
Success, satisfaction and happiness complement each other. They must go hand-in-hand in order to avoid a feeling of worthlessness or having led an unworthy life, which will pinch us more in our deathbed than any kind of tangible loss that we may have suffered during our life time. This book offers elaborate guidelines in terms of chapters for a balanced, successful and happy living.
Happiness was designed to be natural to us but with today’s fast-paced and ever busy life, we are steadily and gradually losing touch with it, and today it is one thing which is not natural to majority of us. Happiness has now become a subject of learning which everyone must master before taking his plunge into the so called ‘mad-world’.
Life is an art; you cannot learn to live it without actually living it. Earning more year by year doesn’t mean you have become wiser, for you were busy learning how to earn and not how to live . So, let’s start living by understanding the finer prints of this life and by actually doing rather than plan and postpone endlessly and die feeling sorry for a life full of regrets.
Satisfaction and willingness are the two pillars of life. If we are not willing, the easiest job will seem to be the toughest. And if we are not satisfied, no amount of wealth or comfort would be of our use.
Sometimes just a small change, a simple choice can let our life go from nowhere to somewhere and from somewhere to everywhere; just one incident can infuse that spark within us which not only let us glow but also let us glow others; which not only show us the way but also let us show the way to others. Remember, it was just a post-battle sight which led Ashoka change from a bloody warrior to a messenger of peace, and transform into ‘Ashoka the Great’.
This book could be your chance not only to attain that most awaited and desirable success but also to hold on and grow both internally and externally with it. In other words, this book is an earnest attempt to transform you into a complete individual.
To Whom is This Book Targeted?
This book is not for them who claim to be fully aware of their own self and the finer prints of this world and human life in general. This book makes an effort to make people realise their own self and co-relate their life with the various stories, facts, anecdotes and day to day practical examples and observations given in it.
This book is for people who want to unleash their true potential; are in search of their talent and a success—which is satisfying. This book is also for them who have a brush with success and wish to hold on and grow with that success. And finally, this book is for people who want to lead a wholesome life—a life worth living.
In total, this book assures a more balanced, oriented, fulfilled and enriching life to everyone who decides to take a plunge into its pages. Notwithstanding, I welcome you all for a joyful experience ahead.
Throughout the book, I have used masculine gender, only to facilitate the reading experience. All the principles apply to both the genders.

Finding your niche
A king once wanted to shorten the length of all coming years, so that he could celebrate his daughter’s birthday, every year more frequently. In order to decide which month to delete, he called all the months and asked them to prove their worth or risk facing a burial into the pages of history The bemused months asked for a week’s time to defend themselves .
A week later all the months, in order, lined up in front of king. January, being the first defended himself by saying, “Your majesty I am the beginning, without me people would be deprived of a new year”
The next in line, February said, “Children cry less in my presence as I have the least number of days, besides I give people a chance to come closer and celebrate love on my 14 th day”
March defended himself by saying, “I bring in the season of spring, giving a sense of freshness to the atmosphere”
April squealed, “Only I am traditionally authorised t
